Did you win it on ebay or did you do it the old fashioned way?

I pressed "Buy it Now" when a bidding war threatened.

It has a fresh cambelt and idlers, new ATF and ancillary transmission fluids(c. £700 at specialist indy), near new tyres, a spare set of 17" wheels with good tyres, original JDM satnav/stereo to go back where the double DIN unit is, great numberplate...

I'll probably want to source a standard induction kit ASAP and perhaps a replacement for the cracked/rattly engine cover.

Not sure I'll sleep between now and collection...

Nice work, especially including the plate. All you need is a Labrador to scare to death in the back!

Not sure about the flat lab, but I think I've sourced a standard induction kit.

Most seem to be advertised at "due a cambelt"miles with no mention of it having been done - it's a £500+ job.

Club VR4 has a wealth of info and a friendly and helpful forum.

That car is beautiful. Had a quick internet browse this afternoon. Keep us updated how you find it.

Very nice Nick.

Will this be replacing the 'pina?

No, it's replacing the shared W124 estate that died in an October hail storm^H^H^H^Hhower in the highlands.

The E220 was a fine car but it got a bit wheezy in the high Alps, so the opportunity to upgrunt is not entirely unwelcome. Bizarrely the insurance, with a slightly re-jigged syndicate including a known estate killer, is less.

The B10 is mine, all mine! The B10 stays.

Good buy Fluffnik, have you searched through CVR4, this car has been talked about a bit in the past. New-Era originally imported it if I recall, a search through their site should show up past sales.

I've got the NewEra pdf advert from when it was first imported, and found a fair bit about it on CVR4 - it's quite a distinctive car.

ETA: This guy WildCards seems to have been stalking it for years...
